Respected Mr. Jagdish Sahay,

I have revered Sarsi Police Station as my work place.

And always honoured the dignity of my uniform.

But in the past 3 months,

after witnessing all that I have in this Police Station

along with the antics of its employees,

I can't muster the courage to continue this job.

Whether it's my cowardice or conscience,

that's for you to decide,

But I've decided to quit this job.

Yours gratefully, Sub-inspector Ravi Shankar Tripathi.

Yes, Mr. Yadav. I'm coming.

And I am coming only to tender my resignation.

Please do hand it over to Mr. Jagdish.

The girl's family has sent a photograph for you.

Look. It arrived yesterday.

Did you see it?

Yes.

Liar! You didn't see it!

Saw it.

It's great.

When will you bring your father's belongings?

Mom, what special is going to be in it?

We'll find out once you bring it, right?

It won't have anything, except books.

Are you fond of reading books?

- Yes, I do. - Really?

The girl is highly educated.

She was your father's student.

Once you get married, Me and her will read those books together.

Why will such a girl marry me?

What?

She should marry someone who is intelligent.

My son is no less!

Be it MBBS, Engineering, Civil Services, you've studied it all.

Mom, I've told you so many times! Don't say that.

It's a lie.

I prepared for all exams,

but couldn't get through any of them.

My son has a great job in the police.

Why won't she marry you?

Mom, the thing is,

Once she is here, she'll pull me away.

- and you will be left alone. - Shut up!

What?

Wish dad on his birthday...

Why are you whispering?

Wish your father on his birthday.

As if he's listening.

Strange.

Happy birthday, father.

Your father left.

Your wife will pull you away.

You have already started planning

- to get rid of me. - Mom, it was a joke.

It was a joke.

Have your food. I need to leave.

You leave.

Leave.

Greetings!

Welcome to Sarsi Police Station, Macmohan Ganj.

Today, we've gathered for a very important training.

This training will help empower the police staff.

For organizing this event,

I'd like to thank Sarsi Police Station wherein

this training is organised.

I also thank the SHO of this Police Station, Jagdish Sahay.

I would like to now invite Ms. Latika upon the stage.

Yadav!

Please come and proceed with the program.

Welcome, Ms. Latika.

Greetings.

This training is based on sensitivity.

Sensitivity.

Recently the head constable of Sarsi Police Station

has come across a new case.

I want him to share the details with us.

Mr. Yadav, please take the stage.

We received a case last night.

A man threw acid on a girl.

I went to the hospital to inquire, but the girl didn't speak.

That's what happens in a heinous gender crime.

Girls often don't speak out of fear.

No, ma'am.

Her lips are stuck to each other. How will she speak?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes. Welcome.

The word that we are repeatedly using throughout this training

is sensitivity.

Especially towards women.

Very often, girls are scared to go to the police station

and file a report.

- What steps can we take for it? - Even boys are afraid.

The first step is language.

One must not yell or abuse in front of women.

Whenever we hurl abuses,

their fear increases.

Which Police Station are you from?

Yes! You!

Sir, Sarsi!

Mr. Jagdish...

Your staff is arriving late!

- Sorry, sir. - Sorry, sir.

- It won't happen again. - It won't happen again.

Is this a joke!

Are we training to kill time?

Do you even have an idea

crimes against women is on the rise!

What is your name?

Sir... Ravi Shankar Tripathi.

Your station is negligent towards women's safety.

Sarsi Police Station has recorded

112 cases of eve teasing in the past 3 months!

Why?

Sir...

At first, girls never reported the cases.

Now-a-days, they do.

It's not the crime, its reporting is on the rise.

Very good!

I'll send you to the Home Ministry.

Go tell them.

'Sir, women's safety is our prime concern.'

'But we are just fucking around in training!'

Sorry.

Yadav... Yadav.

What are you making me do?

I came to give you the resignation.

- Shukla, hold the ladder. - Yes, sir.

Even after tending your resignation

you have to work for a month.

I'll give the letter.

I'm not running away.

I'll check Mr. Jagdish's mood and give it to him.

Every 15 days, we have to clean these filthy pigeon droppings!

Why are you lighting it today?

Everyone cheats during the game daily.

Nothing is visible.

Go on, I'm holding the ladder.

It's just a 10-foot ladder.

Yes. Go on.

Give it.

Mr. Yadav...

Get down!

- You climb. - Sir?

Climb!

Yes, sir.

Mr. Yadav, hold it.

The ladder isn’t going anywhere!

Climb.

Hurry up! Motherfucker!

Sir...

- Climb! - Sir, it's shaking...

Yes, mom!

The girl's family want the photograph back.

Just reply with a yes or no.

Are you climbing or not?

Answer me. Yes or not?

I don't know!

- Are you climbing or not? - Yes.

Fine, I'll agree.

Motherfucker, it's not even been three months since you've joined

and you're already arriving late!

Two days ago, you went awol.

- Mr. Yadav, make him prepare tea only. - Yes, sir.

Sir, it was the hospital. Parul regained consciousness.

- Mr. Yadav, hold it. - Yes.

Get down.

Get down!

Bring the report.

Will you get down or should I call the fire brigade?

- No, sir. I'm getting down. - Down!

Police officers, my foot.

Bhoop Singh!

Coming, sir!

- Show him how to climb. - Sir.

Like this.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Doctor, what are you saying?

I've come here thrice already.

Sir, hear me out. Try to understand.

Understand what?

What is it that you want me to understand?

Inform us once she regains conscious completely.

Sir, she briefly regained consciousness.

However, by the time we called you...

Do you take the police for fools?

What do you mean briefly?

We have to take action,

statement has to be taken, investigation is done.

Are we sitting idle?

Sir, we aren't sitting idle either.

We have many cases of sick and wounded.

What are you implying?

You'll call us if she briefly wakes up?

We'll come here like idiots

and go back.

Then come back again when she wakes up briefly...

Greetings, sir.

What is the matter, ma'am?
